...or rather finished on Monday!
I started this journal page last Wednesday after being inspired by watching Abs of Aall and Create with Leonie on Hochanda TV.
Not that you can tell, as I don't have the stamps he was using, but I did like the design of the page.
I used my favourite sunflower stencil in several places across the page as a stamp and then part of a new stencil. I stamped Bipasha's flowers and then some others were stamped and cut out from the same set! I added part of a zip stamp and some of Tracy Evans' hearts.
Finally I added a pice of wash tape.
I am joining in at Art Journal Journey with Elizabeth's 'Hearts' theme
I have also completed a tag...just in time (I hope)to join in at Tag Tuesday..
I made this tag on the back of another that I am not so keen on, only thing is I wasn't so keen on what I made here to start with, so out with the gesso and green paint, which I then rolled a piece of string over to get some gentle texture! Still not happy I added some yellow paint with edge of an old 'credit card'
The flowers are from a cheap set of clear stamps - using the colours I am seeing around of the crocuses by the roads. It wasn't looking anywhere near finished until I found the words in a Tim Hold chit chat sticker book - then I knew...it needs some music paper.
Edged with Crushed Olive DI - it's done and I'm linking to Tag Tuesday and Valerie's 'Spring is in the air' theme.
I hope to back later but it may be tomorrow morning...
Thanks for looking, Chris

Wonderful journal and spring tag, Chris.
Your tag is incredible. It really DOES look like spring. And I am in awe that you included sheet music, too.
Of course, your journal page stole my heart. I absolutely adore the design and the composition of this. It's a really clever design and beautiful journal page. One of my very favorites this month. Thank you beyond belief for sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey using my hearts theme.

The sunflower stencil looks like a sun. (Hence the name I guess). I like this page and it works so well for Elizabeth’s challenge. Thanks for joining us at AJJ. Hugs Erika
